There are times when you can be absolutely certain that the Orioles are going to lose a ballgame. Today, perhaps that moment of realization hit you when the O’s were shut out for eight innings by a pitcher with a career 4.56 ERA. Or it may have slapped you in the face when the Orioles somehow got a runner thrown out trying to score from third base
on a single. But it became official when Nate Lowe smacked a walkoff hit in the bottom of the 10th, averting the Orioles’ attempt for a three-game sweep in Texas with a 1-0 decision.

Cesar Valdez’s name has graced this column a handful of times over the past year, most recently a month ago when I asked him about his powerful paralyzing perfect pachydermous percussion pitch. (No, the Baltimore Orioles reliever doesn’t actually call it that, but given that Bugs Bunny changeups make up the lion’s share of his deliveries, he arguably should). Since the start of last season, Valdez has thrown the mesmerizing offering an eye-popping 83.1% of the time.
The Red Sox have faced the 36-year-old slow-baller on three occasions so far in April, so I asked Boston hitting coach Tim Hyers what kind of advice he gives his charges when Valdez is on the bump.
